Scorpions!!!

Here in AZ we have tons of scorpions. We were fortunate to rent in a place that didn't have any. It is really common for them to be in people's homes, they drop down from your ceiling vents. I guess people get used to checking their sheets, clothes, shoes, etc. when they have them in their homes. I hope I never have to be worried about them.

However yesterday I got to experience the joys of being stung by one. I found one in our living room, although at first I didn't realize that that was what was causing me pain.

Greg is building me shelves for our entertainment center and so we had all of our dvds in a pile. I went to put them away and grabbed the wrong dvd. It got me a couple of times before I finally said something was hurting/stinging me. I thought it was a piece of broken wood since that's what Greg had been doing. He immediately knew what it was.

Needless to say 24 hours later and my right hand is still numb, especially my finger that he got me in. It's been an interesting experience and I won't be sad if it never happens again. I am glad though that it was me and not Axton.

Here's the little bugger that got me.
